It will be nice if jmeter has an output that shows the whole key/value pairs. That way I could see what variables I have to work.
Now you got me confuse in something else. If I want to loop through each line of a text file OR loop through each row of data of a database. Is the for loop controller the one to use??? Now, it seem to me that the forloop is too loop only on , for example, the results of a regular expression found in ONE line or ONE row and NOT to loop through each line.
